<P>Yup.&nbsp; I regularly got 40-45 hours on a charge.&nbsp; I don't use much screen time on my phone and have always had it set up so apps go to&nbsp; 'sleep' when not in use.

<P>I was running beta four&nbsp; I charged the battery to 100%. Ten to eleven hours later I pick up the phone and I'm always at 94 or 95%.</P><P>T-mobile rolled out the official Android 9.0 Samsung one UI version a few days ago&nbsp; I charge the battery to 100%. Seven or eight hours later I pick up the phone and I'm at 72 to 84%.</P><P>I've wiped the cache partition and factory data reset.</P><P>All the usual suspects are off. NFC, Nearby device scanning, Location sub menu options, Bluetooth, Advanced sound, All vibrations, Wi-Fi calling, Google assistant app disabled, All Google data collections are paused&nbsp; just to name a few.</P><P>I see something new when I wake the phone&nbsp; Samsung push service and Google play services running in the background since 12:00 midnight. They show only 0.5% battery usage. There are no other entries in the battery stats for apps running except for the usual cell standby and device idol that use about 4 mbs. So I have to wonder where did the missing 20% or 30% go. It's not much better when I'm using the phone the battery level drops a lot faster now&nbsp; This is not a user setting or a poorly written 3rd party app causing the issue&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>Edit</P><P>Safe Mode, charged to 100%, put the phone to sleep for Ten hours and Twenty minutes. Wake up battery level is 84%. Same two apps running in the background Google play services and Samsung push service. Used 1%. Cell Standby and device idle used&nbsp; 5%.

<P>Looks like THEY are watching ALL the time! They have your irises &amp; your face, finger prints, &amp; probably gait by now, attached to EVERY other byte of data ever compiled on you. Now they are always with you. Listening. Watching. Monitoring all communications. A calendar of your power usage. They are burning up our batteries with the always-on applets...going thru em now &amp; disabling everything possible. There's a BUNCH that are communicating behind the scenes.. And, of course, we bought thru Nazi Bolshevik Commie-cast, sfinity, so THEY get access to the DSPs in the TVs, cable boxes, &amp; voice remotes.

<P>Hey&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>Sorry to hear that but it's nice to know that you you understand.&nbsp;</P><P>Yesterday device care battery management reached the end of the it's learning curve after the factory data reset. It now predicts the time remaining based on the last seven days of battery usage. Along with that the adaptive battery ai has also completed the initial learning process&nbsp; It has now moved all the listed apps into the proper buckets. While in the learning process almost all of them were in the active, working set or frequent buckets. Now most have been placed in the rare bucket. Some are active and one or two in working set like gallery&nbsp; camera, my files, internet and some are exempt. They are not optimized.&nbsp;</P><P>I was hoping this would improve the battery life. Maybe it has while while the phone is active I don't know yet&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>On the other side I still see the exact same issue as you&nbsp; Yesterday I put the phone asleep for eleven hours and fifty-three minutes&nbsp; I woke it up and had 79% battery level. Cell Standby and Device idle used 5%.Google Services and Samsung Push used 0.5%.I can see the graph drops all night long&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>I'm not sure if you noticed the edit in my first&nbsp; All I did was charge to a 100% and put in safe mode overnight&nbsp; It had no positive effect at all&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>If I find a solution I'll post it here. Otherwise as you said the four of them really should take a look at this issue and help us out&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks for the post&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P>Tue, 19 Feb 2019 15:29:10 GMThttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/461842#M11847CLF2019-02-19T15:29:10ZRe: Galaxy S9+ battery deterioration after Pie Updatehttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/461849#M11853

<P>Last night I cleared the cache (restarted in service mode), then went thru EVERY app, disabling some I don't think are needed, etc. Pleased to say battery appears to be back to great again. Used only around 5% per hour of screen on browsing, then used only 1% overnight with screen off. Now I get to see how usable it is during the day.

<P>Wow, that is promising. A few questions for you:&nbsp; 1) How do you restart it in 'service' mode? I'd like to give this a try.&nbsp; 2) Is it safe to disable google, and, especially, the 'Samsung Experience' which, for me at least, uses over 50% of the battery life?&nbsp; It is disheartening that it seems to be impossible to see the apps that running in the background.&nbsp; I have had to go into the Apps folder and force stop several apps.&nbsp; Still at night my battery drops 25% with everything (that I know of) off.</P><P>3) Is there an easy way to see what is running in the background?</P><P>Thanks again for your input.&nbsp; Let us know how your day went with it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>Tue, 19 Feb 2019 16:10:11 GMThttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/461862#M11856mlleelise22019-02-19T16:10:11ZRe: Galaxy S9+ battery deterioration after Pie Updatehttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/462238#M11927
<P>I did another Factory data reset yesterday. Set Everything up just as I always do. No Auto restore or manual restore. One by one.&nbsp;</P><P>Charged to 100% and let it sleep for eight hours and seventeen minutes. Battery level was at 84%. No third party apps installed. Same two apps listed. Samsung push shows active for 4hrs and Google services shows 4hrs running in the background. They might not be using a lot of Battery but they might be keeping the phone awake I don't really know.&nbsp;</P><P>I wiped the system cache partition in the recovery console this morning I have done this before but it doesn't resolve the issue on my phone. Power off the phone. Press and hold the volume up key the Bixby key and the power key at the same time. Wait for the android logo to popup and release the keys. You should be in the recovery console now. Use the volume down key to move down the menu to the entry wipe system cache partition. Once that is highlighted press the power key then press the volume down key again to select yes. Press the power key and it will wipe the system cache partition and return you to a highlighted item labeled restart the system. Press the power key and it will boot up.&nbsp;</P><P>The other things you mentioned Samsung experience never uses that much Battery on my galaxy S9 it's more like 8 or 9 % on the day. It varies. Since running with no third party apps doesn't improve the Battery usage I installed my usual apps. Nova launcher prime, kLWP, KWGT, Power Amp, Color note, Swiftkey, and a few others. Nova Launcher is set as the default home and KLWP runs as an overlay on top of that. With these apps running I have always been able to put the phone to sleep for 10 to 11 hrs and wake it up at 95% Battery level. Be careful in the recovery console make sure your on the wipe cache partition.&nbsp;</P>Wed, 20 Feb 2019 12:23:44 GMThttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/462238#M11927CLF2019-02-20T12:23:44ZRe: Galaxy S9+ battery deterioration after Pie Updatehttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/463926#M12303

<P>Yes I hope they are looking into this too. I'm glad you posted about this. I had the Google App Disabled, turned off background data usage, removed its permissions, put it to sleep but didn't see any substantial battery improvement. I did another factory data reset yesterday. That makes 3 for me&nbsp; This time around I set up just as normally would and only have two apps added to the sleep catigory. T-mobile app for causing an unrelated issue and the Google app because I don't use the assistant. I've paused all the data collection services. I'm going to leave everything the way it is and hope they can find what's causing this.</P><P>See you later,&nbsp;</P><P>CLF&nbsp;</P>Sat, 23 Feb 2019 13:02:18 GMThttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/464077#M12358CLF2019-02-23T13:02:18ZRe: Galaxy S9+ battery deterioration after Pie Updatehttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/464310#M12453
<P>So, days after clearing the cache partition, going thru ALL apps &amp; disabling some &amp; setting battery saving options on all, my S9+ is back to great battery life again. But still up &amp; quits with NO notification that battery is getting low, if I'm listening to TV shows with phone in my pocket. So I need to find a way of sounding a notification when battery level becomes critical. Other than that, great phone. Just bought a USB hub to see what its like to use the S9+ as a laptop, just looking at 4K monitors now...&nbsp;</P>Sat, 23 Feb 2019 19:32:54 GMThttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/464310#M12453userMRQF7CvrPs2019-02-23T19:32:54ZRe: Galaxy S9+ battery deterioration after Pie Updatehttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/464315#M12455

<P>You will be waiting a LONG time! I've fixed mine 100%, Sammy SHOULD have included in their update, either a forced cache partition purge or instructions on how to do it. And they should have optimized the installation of apps included in the update to install them all in a battery-saving state instead of a full-feature state. As installed, every app is fully enabled, meaning no battery saving features enabled. After clearing the cache partition &amp; rebooting, I went thru EVERY app, turning up battery saving, turning off background communications.&nbsp; Now the battery life is better than ever.

I found one of the culprits - the Samsung Keyboard is stuck running in the background.
Past two days it has shown 16 to 17 hours of background use - FOR THE GDAMN KEYBOARD
Was on live chat with Samsung - they told me to Factory Reset my phone - GTFO
They told be to go to a U-break-I-Fix so that they could test the code - GTFO - been there once, waste of time
They even used Smart Tutor to remote control my phone for over an hour - no fix
Got escalated to manager they finally gave me a ticket number for the issue

<P>Same problem on my wife's S9+. Used to unplug at 5:00AM and make it to 9:00PM with 40% left. After update it hits 0% by 4:00PM. Completely unacceptable.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>I have a note 9 that hasn't had any problems at all with the pie and one UI update. Can't see that there are any problems with runaway processes or anything else unusual between my note 9 and the s9+. We've cleared cache, reset battery callibration, and factory reset. Nothing has helped.</P>

<P>So I and my wife's SG9 plus are experiencing the same issues after the update. IT is ridiculous. I tried the clearing of the cache with no help. Prior to the update I was amazed of the battry life, now it is UNACCEPTABLE.</P>
<P>Is it going to take positing everywhere to get this fixed. Five pages of complaints and not response? I agree that we should be able to leave the same functionality on phone as before without having to make all these changes.</P>

<P>Same here. <img id="smileysad" class="emoticon emoticon-smileysad" src="https://us.community.samsung.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-sad.png" alt="Smiley Sad" title="Smiley Sad" /> I'm having 3 hrs S.O.T. My bae's Huawei Nova 3i got 6-8 hrs screen on time. This will be my last samsung phone if they don't fix this. Very disappointing.</P>Thu, 09 May 2019 01:33:38 GMThttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/625771#M20217userpPxXNBuN8m2019-05-09T01:33:38ZRe: Galaxy S9+ battery deterioration after Pie Updatehttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/625774#M20218
<P>Btw, I'm having the S9+. This might be the worst flagship phone ever. My bae's Huawei Nova 3i costing around 14k php has way better battery life that this&nbsp;50k+ php flagship plus version. This is so frustrating.</P>Thu, 09 May 2019 16:29:08 GMThttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/625774#M20218userpPxXNBuN8m2019-05-09T16:29:08ZRe: Galaxy S9+ battery deterioration after Pie Updatehttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/625830#M20220
<P>Hello everyone </P>
<P>I have the same situation with my device, I have an S9 plus Sm-G965FD (dual sim) and lately the battery does not last the whole day.</P>Thu, 09 May 2019 02:09:27 GMThttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/625830#M20220Angel-Espinal2019-05-09T02:09:27ZRe: Galaxy S9+ battery deterioration after Pie Updatehttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/626441#M20238
<P>Judging by the fact that all of the new Samsung phones came out with much bigger batteries, it would appear as if this issue is simply caused by Samsung refusing to make their software at all efficient.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Is it really more cost efficient to slap larger batteries in the phones than it is to make your software work more efficiently?</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>I mean how is it that many cheaper android phones even with heavy skins (like Samsung has) have far and away better battery life? Huawei, oneplus, xiaomi, Motorola, just to name a few. I don't believe anyone would argue these companies are in any way more superior than samsung is.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Maybe they just care more.&nbsp;</P>Thu, 09 May 2019 13:04:44 GMThttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/626441#M20238userdmhcHp7tQ82019-05-09T13:04:44ZRe: Galaxy S9+ battery deterioration after Pie Updatehttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/630729#M20381
<P><SPAN>It is a bug in the modem, for some reason if you let the wifi on , with the data on, the batery drain , just disable the wifi when leave your house and you will see a big difference in the batery endurance.</SPAN></P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P><SPAN>Samsung doing this kind of bug to make to you to change to a new models like a S10.</SPAN></P>Sat, 11 May 2019 21:56:46 GMThttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/630729#M20381userLvtu8O3TdL2019-05-11T21:56:46ZRe: Galaxy S9+ battery deterioration after Pie Updatehttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/630732#M20382
<P>This will be my last samsung , im wasnt to believe this, but is thruth they never doing the updates well, because if the device work well no nobody prooceed to buy a new model.</P>Sat, 11 May 2019 21:59:18 GMThttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/630732#M20382userLvtu8O3TdL2019-05-11T21:59:18ZRe: Galaxy S9+ battery deterioration after Pie Updatehttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/631269#M20401
<P>If it is truly a bug, which I don't believe it is, why would Samsung not immediately push out a patch? Bug fix? Address the issue before it gets worse and maybe the media or an influencer pick it up?</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>As I wrote above,it is just Samsungs heavy skin using a lot of power after the Android pie update. This is why they put much bigger batteries in their new flagships. I'm sure as Samsung improves the software going forward, and keeps putting bigger batteries in, the battery life will get better.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>But for all of us that are stuck with a 3500mah battery in our 2018 'flagship' phones we are SOL.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>So it just proves how much Samsung gives a dang about their customers.&nbsp;</P>Sun, 12 May 2019 04:18:46 GMThttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/631269#M20401userdmhcHp7tQ82019-05-12T04:18:46ZWHY CAN'T I NOT CALL when I'm outside!!!!https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/631286#M20402

<P>I would recommend taking this up with your service provider. You could have a faulty sim card or your phone settings could have accidentally been changed.&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Once again this may not necessarily be a phone issue. This post is regarding battery drain issues so I recommend making a post regarding your service issue seperately. But please check with your service provider first and keep us updated as to what the issue was.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Best of luck.&nbsp;</P>Sun, 12 May 2019 04:59:14 GMThttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/631316#M20405userdmhcHp7tQ82019-05-12T04:59:14ZRe: Galaxy S9+ battery deterioration after Pie Updatehttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/631540#M20416
<P>Hey,&nbsp;</P>
<P>I was on Android 9.0 Samsung one UI Beta 4. I had really great battery usage. I recovered a small 238 mb update for the official release and now It's using 15 to 20% when in stanby and idle. I found a temp workaround that gave me great battery usage for a few days. It's a bug no doubt.</P>

<P><STRONG>Hello Samsung,</STRONG></P>
<P>I have to say that this flagship S9+ was supposed to be having 3800+ mAh battery. Some people are irritated about this issue and mods are replying which shows no care at all, they say turn off wifi, bluetooth, nfc, location, aod, edge lighting, mobile data, torch, auto rotate etc then why Samsung putted this sh*ts into their mobile.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>I just shifted from Note 8 and purchased S9+ so I got a direct update to 'Pie' thats why I am not feeling any BAD battery consumption.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>My S9+ gives me 6 Hours in all cases when I use heavily possible (from 100% to 16%). However, When I don't use whole day and on 25-35% brightness then it gives me 8-9 Hours.&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Samsung, also please stop providing unnecessary apps by Smausng Electronics. Also please on next update provide us the best possible battery consumption because 6 Hours in actual is nothing.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P><STRONG>Edit</STRONG>:</P>
<P>7-8 Hours are enough when you use at 35% brightness and I personally say S9+ is providing the great battery lifetime and keep it up in next update.</P>Mon, 20 May 2019 23:49:24 GMThttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/641637#M20728GalaxyTM2019-05-20T23:49:24ZRe: Galaxy S9+ battery deterioration after Pie Updatehttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Galaxy-S9-battery-deterioration-after-Pie-Update/m-p/681286#M21917
